Things That Gladden The Heart

[ExRabbit]

Getting an animal by-product chew for the first time from the local pet store which kept our puppy interested for 45 minutes before her bedtime.

Most relaxing evening for us since she joined our household!

And she only got through about 20% of it before we persuaded her to give it back with another treat.

Far better than the £5 chew toys she rips up in no time.

Donkeys. Love them. Wish I had enough land to keep some. Met a couple of likely characters on a walk today.

We went to a donkey sanctuary back in September on our way home from Ladram bay. They’re so adorable and sad looking

I don’t think you will need much room to house Harry Maguire, he hardly moves. ? I’ll get my coat.

Whereas Pickford moves well.

I've got me coat on already.

Just seen there's a Boxing Day Special of The Detectorists. Can't tell you how happy that makes me

True.

But I'm not getting excited yet as morning golf still get worse for another month.

Twitter lied to me! Wouldn't have happened before Elon sacked all the fact checkers

Oh well, something to look forward to for next week.

Ordered a new Denon AVR online from a retailer at 2.55pm. It arrived next day at 10.30am. ?

Getting 4 new all season tyres fit on Friday.
The school run in the snow and slush this morning was uneventful. The TC light didn’t flash even once.

Today managed to watch my daughters first nativity ( Covid etc has stopped all the overs ) - she was loving it and it was really heartwarming to see all the kids have so much fun and sing their hearts out - little tear in the eye ?

All the practice over the last month well worth it

What make did you go for? I bought some Goodyear Vector, 4 Seasons, but my car was written off, with them on, by an idiot before winter came and I got to test them out. Luckily I still had a previous set of winters from another car that fit my new one so I put them on a couple of weeks ago. These probably only have one more winter in them, this one, and the summer tyres I took off don't have that much left so I will be looking at All Seasons again next year. Always interested to hear recommendations.

Continental All Seasons. Didn’t have much choice locally in the size I needed. It was either these or Cross Climates which were considerably more expensive.

The Continentals get good reviews. I don’t think there is much between the top brands anyway. Couldn’t fault them this morning.

The two lads working on the house are currently taking out a chimney breast from an upstairs bedroom. Just offered a coffee…’give us it in a couple of hours, too busy at the moment’. Attaboys…no swanning around at my expense with these lads ?
